Cloke sees the statue burst through the caved-in tunnel entranceway from his vantage point in a cedar tree. He watches Martin's stony likeness coming toward the woods awhile, then back to the task at paw. With a quick leap he manages to grab onto a pine's spiny bough and throw himself to the next tree in the line. After this, he continues jumping and scrambling from tree to tree until he is at the wood's edge where it meets the mountain's incline. He throws a pawful of pine needles and other debris at the sword-bearing statue to divert it's attention from himself while he slips past it into the tunnel.
